GOBLET OF FIRE Spoiler Thread

[filkertom]

Not a review so much as a stream of consciousness. I might not even bother with a full review. Short form: Either you will be ticked off at the stuff they left out, or you will be amazed at how cool it is. I'm in the latter camp. LOVED what they did with Neville, Voldemort, and the Twins. Brendan Gleeson was superb as Moody. Dan Radcliffe had to carry this movie will getting his ass kicked from one end of it to the other, and he did great. Cho is cute and all, but Hermione is just too damn fine. I understand Ginny is supposed to be considered physically gorgeous -- let me know how that works out. Right now she looks like a very plain Amish girl stuck in the wrong movie. The brief but important parts with Lucius Malfoy and Amos Diggory set the tone wonderfully, and it broke my heart when Cedric died. What little there was of Sirius and Snape was delicious. And Rupert Grint and Michael Gambon both grew into their parts very, very well.

And, oh Christ, is this a movie for the slashgirls. I leave that as an exercise for the student.

Have at it.
